Cutaway Roundnose Tone Bar Slide for Dobro or Lap Steel

Description

Imperial RH-2 Snubnose Tonebar

This is a steel or “tonebar” that uses the Stevens type design with the finger groove on the top, but adds a cutaway on the front end with a rounded nose. The advantage of this is that with the rounded nose the player can tilt the steel bar up and be able to cleanly and quickly play single notes on any string. With a traditional square ended Stevens bar it is very difficult to play single notes anywhere except the very top or very bottom strings.

I’ve had my Imperial Double O now since Christmas and I love it. Great looks and a great sound to match. I had the pleasure of meeting Jerry Douglas a few weeks ago and he signed it. He was quite impressed with the guitar!

Just unpacked my guitar – so happy I ordered it. I was going to build my own extra deep, in my retirement, but its so nice to have it now instead of ten years from now (and it would not have been as nice).

Beautiful guitar with a beautiful sound.

I love my new guitar. Thanks for doing such a good job on it and for great service.

I love the new guitar – sounds and plays great.
Again, I LOVE the guitar.
